00:00Oh
00:30And here in Pindy we're ready for power for precision and we're so excited at the 10th edition of the HBL PSL.
00:55Welcome everybody, two fine teams here tonight, United and Kalandas led by two excellent Pakistan cricketers, modern greats you'd probably call them, of an age where the game has changed so dramatically.
01:10So it's the Kalandas who are going to bat first. Let's go for it.
01:15Yeah, when you talk about Lahore, Kalandas, they have the wherewithal to trance the opposition.
01:21They have powerhouse in Fakhar Zaman, up the order, along with Naim, who's getting his first opportunity, comes from Lahore Kalandas' player development program.
01:31Abdullah Shafiq, reliable. Mitchell, also reliable.
01:34Then you talk about players who could flail the bat. They have Raza, Visa and Billings.
01:41This is Lama Bear United, current champions, Lisa.
01:44Yeah, and I like their top order straight away because we've got the first American house who's playing in the PSL.
01:53Farhan has scored over 600 runs in the T20 league just earlier on.
01:58And then the middle order of Jason Holder, the skipper as well.
02:03And then from a pace attack, Riley Meredith and Nassim Sharp, they will send down some thunderbolts.
02:10There's the show.
02:12These are the dancers.
02:17Those are the stars.
02:20Those folks are the fireworks and the troupe that gave us tonight's celebration.
02:25We've got liftoff.
02:41We're all ready.
02:43Here we go.
02:44The start of the 10th edition.
02:45Oh, she's a bit wide to start with and generosity from Chris Brown, who was, I thought, in the most charming mood out there.
02:54Well, that's out.
02:55Well, that's out.
02:58That is out.
02:59Yep.
03:01That extra pace.
03:02Really good ball, that.
03:06Frankly, the wrong line to be pulling anyway.
03:09What a big wicket it is.
03:11Yeah, just not short enough, is it?
03:18Top edge flew nicely.
03:22As I'm kind and taken easily.
03:24And Riley Meredith playing in his first PSL.
03:27He was able to pick up the wicket of Fakir Zaman.
03:30He goes for one.
03:31Lahore a four for one.
03:36Beauty.
03:37That's what I mean about driving it.
03:39That was authentic.
03:41Saw the line and the length.
03:44And he decided it's going to go square of the wicket.
03:47Just picked it up well enough.
03:57First six of the tournament.
04:01Yeah, the first time that we've seen Nassim Shah go a little bit too straight.
04:06And with his pace of 140 kilometers an hour, all he has to do is...
04:11He loves that gap.
04:17Oh, Abiyoto Shafiq.
04:19Get him on that front foot.
04:22Lovely timer.
04:28That's out as well.
04:30Yep.
04:35Both openers gone.
04:36Short his weakness earlier.
04:44On his PSL debut.
04:47For Wailed.
04:48Outside edge.
04:50Easy take behind the stance.
04:55You can understand why he went for it.
04:57There's a little bit of width.
04:59And unfortunately didn't find the middle of the bat.
05:01Naeem goes for 11.
05:03Lahore a 30 for two.
05:04And he knew he had to try and give himself just a little bit of an angle.
05:12Went across.
05:13Opened himself up.
05:14It's a beautiful shot.
05:20Sliced over the top.
05:21And he might just get this in the gap.
05:23It's a quick outfield here.
05:25A roll Pindy.
05:26And two boundaries in the over.
05:28A better over for the Kalandas.
05:29Seven gone.
05:3045 for two.
05:34In the air.
05:36Should be out.
05:37Should be out.
05:38Is out.
05:39It's a big wicket.
05:41Pace off from Imad Wazim.
05:43Maybe a little bit of turn.
05:44And a simple catch for Shadav Khan.
05:50Yeah, you just see that.
05:51He just takes pace off and he goes wide.
05:54Daryl Mitchell goes leg side.
05:56He's trying to open both sides up.
05:58And it's clever.
05:59He's an experienced player, Imad Wazim.
06:01Just goes wide.
06:03And his hands go through the ball.
06:04He knows.
06:05Happy captain.
06:06Decent position they find themselves in in what these 7.5 overs.
06:13Daryl Mitchell out for 13.
06:15Lahore Kalandas 51 for 3.
06:20Short.
06:21Put away.
06:22It's huge.
06:23It's a maximum.
06:26And Shadav Khan with a poor start.
06:31One with that googly again.
06:32It's top edge.
06:33Does he get enough?
06:34No, he straight into his hands.
06:37Tried to get it into the gap.
06:41Aliaga with the catch.
06:44Kalandas in massive trouble.
06:48Into the surface.
06:49Just tries to just clip it into the gap.
06:52And gets too much of it.
06:54Simple catch for Salman Aliaga.
06:57Disappointment for Billings.
06:58Sam Billings doesn't get any.
07:04He's out without scoring.
07:0658 for 4.
07:10Down the track.
07:11Beautifully hit.
07:13Abdullah Shafiq looks in fine form.
07:16A maximum over long on.
07:19You see it hit straight.
07:22It always gets noticed.
07:25Ball just coming back in.
07:26And he just went with it.
07:29Lovely footwork.
07:31Lovely balance as he smashes that away.
07:40Goes big.
07:41Another heavyweight hit for 6.
07:45This is such a good counter punch.
07:51There he goes for a flick shot.
07:53That's beautifully played away.
07:54Into the gap for 4.
07:55This is good batting.
07:56A very good comeback from Raza.
07:58Catch it is the call.
08:04Has it done the distance?
08:06No.
08:06I think he's perished.
08:07He's gone.
08:09After playing so well.
08:10It's Shadab who's picked up Abdullah Shafiq.
08:13No.
08:13It's Raza in fact.
08:15He was in good nick as well.
08:17Wanted a 6.
08:18He's played.
08:19Spinned so well.
08:20But didn't happen this time.
08:22So this one was up a little bit.
08:25Ripped and turned.
08:27So Khanda Raza was eyeing out that deep mid wicket.
08:31He got more height than distance.
08:34And Shadab Khan who has copped a bit of flack of late.
08:38Not picking up as many wickets as he should get.
08:41He does in fact dismiss Raza for 23.
08:45And it's 93 for 5.
08:52And gone.
08:53Soft dismissal.
08:54Couldn't handle the bounce.
08:55He's not very pacey but he's extremely tall and gets it to bounce from the length.
09:01Well his promotion has earned Kalandas basically nothing I'm afraid.
09:06Gripped in the pitch.
09:08A little bit slow.
09:09Had no idea.
09:11You can tell by the fact that he dropped his head.
09:14And just hoped.
09:15And prayed that the ball would find some space.
09:18In the end it didn't.
09:19So Jahandan Khan goes without scoring.
09:23The Hawkelundas 95 for 6.
09:27Oh Bolem what a Yorker.
09:32What a result.
09:34It's outstanding stuff from Jason Holder.
09:38Bounced out a batsman and straight away York the other one.
09:41Fantastic bowling.
09:43And he's got 3 for 12 and he's on a hat trick.
09:46That is the perfect delivery.
09:49David Luisa is tall guy as well.
09:52So he was able to sneak the ball under his bat.
09:57130 kilometres.
09:59Two ducks.
10:00And all of a sudden Lahore in a world of trouble.
10:0495 for 7.
10:06Asim Shah back into the attack.
10:08He started well bowling back of the length at the pitch hard.
10:11Getting a bit of outswing.
10:12And that's beautiful timing.
10:14A man in and seeing it big.
10:17He's the first batter in the 10th edition of HBO PSL to get to a 50.
10:25That's also over pitched.
10:31And it's over the ropes as well.
10:34It looked like that he tried to take the pace off.
10:36And it was spotted by the batter.
10:43Just trying it.
10:44It's so hard.
10:46He's not even looking at it.
10:51And it's the up position captain in Shane Shah Freedy.
10:55And it's been the strength of his abilities tonight.
10:58The ability to change his length.
11:01And change his pace.
11:02And it's been quite effective.
11:05Afili he goes for two.
11:07Lahore continues to struggle at 120 points.
11:12And this time it disappears.
11:15Such is the price you pay.
11:18Who would be a bowler?
11:2017 gone.
11:201, 2, 6 for 8.
11:21It is out.
11:28If he catches it.
11:29Which he does.
11:30Well done.
11:30Because he saw it late.
11:34Yeah, slow delivery.
11:36Working for the paceman.
11:37The same shot.
11:38Colin Munro, I think.
11:41Down there.
11:42All the pace taken off the ball.
11:45And he's done well.
11:46Because he was really slow to react to
11:48the distance the ball was travelling.
11:52And he stayed calm.
11:54Picked it.
11:55Ended up on his knees.
11:56Which he wouldn't choose to do.
11:57But he's got the big man out for 66.
12:00It's 1, 3, 3 for 9.
12:04That one's out.
12:07No problem with that one.
12:09Stumped off a wide.
12:10And so an efficient.
12:13Not glamorous.
12:14I'd say an efficient performance.
12:19The United.
12:21They've been together today.
12:22And happy to be.
12:23Very effervescent.
12:25Shadab Khan is leading them.
12:27He was chatty at the toss.
12:28With a big smile on his face.
12:30And he's had a smile on his face
12:31most of these innings.
12:32As he put Noho into bat.
12:36And he's knocked him over.
12:381, 3, 9.
12:40It must be a happy captain.
12:43Shadab Khan.
12:44The entire team.
12:46The bowling unit responded to his call.
12:48Bowled tightly.
12:49Picked up wickets at the right moment.
12:51Never allowed the opposition
12:52to come back into the game.
12:56All that experience was evident
12:58in Jason Holder's performance.
13:00Shadab was pretty good too.
13:02He had three to his bag.
13:0466 for Shafiq.
13:06Who is comfortably the standout player.
13:08Really good player.
13:09Made good use of a good pitch.
13:11Unlike some of the others out there.
13:13And the two stars overseas players.
13:16Darrell Mitchell and Sam Billings
13:17having quiet days.
13:19As they look to bed in
13:20to their new team here.
13:22The Lahore Calandas.
13:26The figures we're talking about.
13:29Holder and Shadab.
13:307 for 51.
13:32I mean that's a terrific effort by that pair.
13:37So a total of 140
13:39to win the first match of the tournament.
13:41There we go.
13:54Action about to begin.
13:56First ball to be bowled by
13:57Shinesha Fridi.
14:01Yeah, there's that.
14:02Little bit of movement.
14:03Strikes it well into the gap for four.
14:10That is such a good shot.
14:11Delicious shot.
14:12In fact, didn't try to hit it hard at all.
14:14It was all about timing
14:15and great placement.
14:17Oh, Bullim cleaned him up.
14:21Wanted a big heave over mid-wicket.
14:24Not to be.
14:25So a good change
14:26and a very good beginning
14:27by the left-armer.
14:29Asif Afridi picks up a wicket
14:30and keeps Calandas in the job.
14:34Got him ticking is Andres Kos.
14:37And the skill
14:38is what did him.
14:40The length as well.
14:41We know that he doesn't get a lot of turn
14:43but he hits wicket to wicket.
14:46And the Jazz super wicket.
14:48And Calandas are in the mix.
14:51Andres Kos.
14:51He goes for four.
14:52He's number one.
14:53Eight for one.
14:57There's a smash
14:58and there's a misfeel for four.
15:01The ball goes through.
15:04Strong shot from the left-hander.
15:10Monroe smashes it down the ground.
15:12No need to run for that one.
15:13Will it go and hit the fence on the full?
15:19Brilliantly played through the offside.
15:22Very, very dismissive
15:24was Monroe.
15:29Hits it straight.
15:30Gets an excellent result.
15:34It's a six-up.
15:36As Bafferman put this
15:37till this point to find the model.
15:39Picks up the slow ball.
15:40They know his ability
15:42and he finds the middle of the battle.
15:47This one in the air,
15:48in the gap.
15:49The offside is where it's at
15:51for Colin Monroe.
15:52Smashes it.
15:53Pass cover.
15:54A lovely shot.
16:00Lovely timing yet again.
16:03You've seen this so many times
16:04from Colin Monroe.
16:05The way that he strokes it
16:06through the offside
16:07and straight down the ground.
16:09That one is out of the middle of the bat
16:16and out of the park.
16:18The first one
16:19that is actually connected with.
16:23Well, there you go.
16:24This is what we were talking about
16:26and this is why he scored
16:27over 600 runs
16:28just recently.
16:29Just a little signal as well
16:32to the dugout.
16:34Maybe saying yes.
16:36That feels a hell of a lot better
16:37for opening the middle of the bat.
16:39Poor delivery
16:44and Saibzada connects with that.
16:46Catches up with it
16:47and hits it out of the ground.
16:50Back-to-back sixes
16:52for Saibzada.
16:5350 partnership raised.
16:56My father supported me
16:58and when I was 10 years old
16:59I had to start playing.
17:02Alright, sorry.
17:03I have to cut myself
17:04because there's been a
17:05weekend.
17:05It's back to you guys.
17:09Pace again.
17:11Beautiful looking shot.
17:12Opens up that front foot
17:14and helps himself.
17:21Gets it.
17:22Muscles it over.
17:23Extra cover.
17:24And this will run away
17:25for a boundary.
17:27This is quality
17:27from Mundrell.
17:31Made triple hundreds
17:33in test matches
17:33or nine perhaps
17:34and you had to name them.
17:36And the one that the people
17:37who didn't really know
17:38the game got wrong
17:39or didn't get
17:39was Hannif.
17:41That's a good shot.
17:42Just using all the pace
17:43of the ball.
17:43I really like this innings.
17:45I've seen Colin Munro
17:46play for a bit.
17:47The great thing now
17:53is to see it through.
17:54I always think
17:55there's a discipline
17:55in that
17:56for your own mind
17:57as a batsman.
17:58See it through
17:58get the job done.
18:00Lovely 50.
18:01It's come
18:02at a good pace
18:04it's come with
18:04a lot of class
18:05and it's done
18:06exactly the job
18:07it's supposed to do
18:08in a run chase
18:09which is ensure
18:10that his team
18:10gets over the line
18:11which I think
18:12they're bound to do now.
18:13lovely
18:16lovely footwork
18:18how about that
18:20that's as good
18:21as anything
18:22we've seen

18:33to elevate it
18:34through

18:49from Colin Munro.
18:55They're staying
18:56inside the line
